I am interested in possibly participating in the regional tournaments this year, but I don't know the "DCI rules"can someone explain what I need to know going in and or link me to a full rules sheet?May the force be with you.Xanatos

ok I have some more questions.1: are commander effects supposed to stack?2: can jedi use their lightsaber defense skills against yuuzhan vong? 3: when using "greater mobile attack" can characters use "double attack"? (case in point, Echani Handmaiden) also, are double attack and twin attack supposed to stack? (again, Echani handmaiden, or, Praetorite vong warrior with command effect from Yuuzhan Vong subaltern)

1. CEs only stack if they specifically say they do, or if they grant 'named' abilities. For instance, GOWK's CE and Qui-Gon Jinn Jedi Trainer's CE do NOT stack, because they both grant a generic +4 bonus to Attack. However, GOWK's CE would stack with Admiral Yularen and General Skywalker, since those ones grant a +4/+4, Opportunist (named ability), and Momentum (separate named ability).

2. If by Lightsaber Defense abilities you mean the 'style' abilities (Soresu Style, Ataru Style, Makashi Style Mastery, etc.), then yes, they can use those against Vong. What they can't use against Vong are Force Powers, so Lightsaber Block, Deflect, or LS Defense they cannot use.

3. Yes, Greater Mobile Attack allows you to move and still make all your attacks. So, if you have Double or Triple, then it would allow you to move, and then shoot multiple times. And yes, Double and Twin do stack, which would give that piece 4 attacks.

3a. I know you didn't actually ask this question, but the Praetorite Vong Warrior can't benefit from the Subaltern's CE. Only the "Yuuzhan Vong Warrior" pieces can benefit from the CE. This is different from the 'trooper' CEs because 'Warrior' isn't a named ability, while 'Trooper' is.

another question,A commander effect which applies to "allies" applies to allied commanders as well correct? I assume this because the term "followers" seems to apply to only allies without commander effects; and so, in turn, "allies" would apply to all team members?(case in point, Yomin Carr's "Poison +10" effect applying to Warmaster Tsavong Lah.)

about gaining cover from corners.... is there a rule as far as lines between corners that decides whether a character has cover?

I would suggest you look up NickName's Line of Sight guide. It explains cover quite well.

The simple way to determine it though, is when you check for cover, if the line crosses 2 or more pink or green lines, then the character has cover. If nicking a corner is the only pink/green you could be considered to hit, then the character does not have cover.

I highly suggest you jump on Vassal sometime and have someone show you some of the intricacies of cover if you're having problems with it. You'll learn faster on there than anything else.

Also, be sure to peruse the official FAQ, as several of your questions so far would have been answered in there.

And yes, Boba Fett BH can be annoying sometimes, but in a true high-profile tournament setting, he's not necessarily meta. You can't play him expecting to roll 20s, because more often than not, you can go an entire tournament and never get one meaningful Disintegration. He is still a solid piece though, and when used right, you can build decent squads around him.
